I'm making posts prior to my residency because as a new student this was something I looked for in other AIB blogs and never found. I wonder how the pre-residency went for most people. Where did they stay, what did they read before hand, did they buy books, how much contact did they have with their buddy? I've always been a person with lots of questions. I guess that's not really the norm.
Well, the move did not go as planned...at all. In fact, it took about three weeks more than we thought it would to get up to Oak Harbor. Now that I'm here I'm trying to get myself back on track. It is almost June and I still have about three books worth of reading to do for the upcoming residency. I have yet to e-mail any mentors either, and I'm not really sure I am supposed to yet. I've noticed some of the information sent for class-up is a bit on the vague side. I understand that with Graduate study you should be quite independent, but as far as the mentors go I guess I would like a little more direction in that department. I think my main problem is there is no internet at my new home. This is an unpleasant new obstacle, but I've found other avenues outside my home to get service. I just am going to miss procrastinating till midnight, and doing my homework in bed in my jammies.
